I came to Nativity shortly after my best friend passed away and started serving in NextGen ministry. I was looking for a church that people are excited to go to every weekend and a community to lean on, complete with messages that really spoke to me and strengthened my faith. Nativity was the perfect fit. Serving in NextGen, I not only received help and support during a tough time from fellow leaders, but I was also able to share my story with younger girls to help them later on in life when God inevitably will test their faith. Working in this ministry is exactly the way Anna would have wanted her legacy passed down. She had a strong faith no matter what she was going through and loved doing service work. I still think about her every weekend I serve, and I couldn’t be more grateful to her and God for leading me to a church I love. I love making friends who have the same core beliefs and values as me and are going through similar life transitions. I can always count on them to pray for me when things get tough and celebrate with me when things are going well. It’s also always nice to hear their stories and learn from their faith experiences.

I was completely lost in my faith until I met my now wife, Steph. During COVID we were searching online for interesting Masses to watch and stumbled upon Nativity. We were “hooked” from the get go because of the messages and music. Shortly after we would become “hooked” due to the service opportunities and sense of community, once we were able to go in person. Steph convinced me to lead a 9th grade boys next-gen small group after she had led for a year. To say it was rewarding would be an understatement. I learned so much about myself, my faith, and more.

After college, I was overwhelmed by many life changes. I moved back home and began my career in medicine during the height of the pandemic. I missed my friends from college and felt lost in this new chapter of life. I was quickly consumed with anxiety and fear of what the future might hold. Thankfully, I had Nativity. In addition to consistently attending mass on the weekends, I joined the OPS ministry. Later, I started a small group. Getting involved at Nativity has helped bring my relationship with Jesus to life. It has made such a difference in my faith journey to have friends who are in a similar stage of life as me and share the same Catholic values. I will forever cherish the friendships I've made through small group and the Nativity Young Adults ministry!

I joined Young Adults about a year ago, and it’s been such a blessing in my life. I now lead a small group and am so grateful for the experience of walking with others in faith. It’s stretched me, but it’s also given me the chance to grow alongside others as we follow Christ together. This summer I went on a mission trip, and it was truly life-changing. I fell in love with serving others and experiencing God’s presence in a whole new way. That trip gave me a deeper purpose and a stronger passion for living out my faith every day. Now I’m more excited than ever to keep following Jesus and helping others experience Him too. My hope is to keep sharing His love and bringing more people closer to Christ through everything I do!

One of my college mentors taught me the importance of living with a “why not” mentality. So when small group launch weekend came along and Father Michael encouraged people to join a small group I thought “why not?”, I’ll give it a try. I like meeting people my age who share similar values and mindsets. Nativity feels like a home away from home and it’s wonderful to have a church community nearby.

If you would have told me just two years ago where I would be right now, I definitely would have called you crazy. Multiple things occurred in my life that made me subconsciously ask the question “God, where are you?”…I debated if God could even be real. After a hard breakup, I was just depressed. Finally, I just said, “God I will submit my will to yours. Please help me.” I started to read the Bible more and I started to read it every day. When I started connecting in ministry, I felt a change- I felt better. I felt whole.

I decided to look into joining a small group during the Lent season of 2021- I had been at Nativity for a few months, and felt ready to become more involved! I was drawn to a young adult group in my area and was excited to relate and connect with them! I am so thankful for my group- it has been so helpful to have a group of friends in a similar life stage, navigating adulthood at the same time as me! When I entered a new and unexpected medical journey with multiple sclerosis, my small group became a source of encouragement and support, walking with me through my journey (quite literally, when they joined my Walk MS team as well!). I am so thankful for each member and the unique perspectives and qualities they bring to our group!

“I’ve been a member of Nativity since I was eight years old, but only in 2024 did I decide to become actively involved by joining a small group and the Young Adult Ministry. It’s been an abundance of blessings ever since! I’ve deepened my relationship with God, gone on a mission trip to Kenya, and have met so many amazing new friends along the way. Having a strong faith in Jesus is essential in overcoming the challenges that come with being a Young Adult, and I love having a community of like-minded people to walk with on that journey! Joining Nativity’s Young Adult community has had such a positive impact on my life, and I’m confident it will do the same for you!

Since coming to Nativity and joining the community, my passion to guide people in their faith, and their journey with Jesus, has grown - as well as my own faith journey!! I get excited to go to church as well as my weekly young adult small group. I am so glad I took the chance and joined during Lent! I love my women’s small group. I instantly felt like I was accepted just the way I am and I am able to be vulnerable. It has definitely allowed me to grow in my faith. I look forward to it every week!
